Closeouts. The North Face's Back-to-Berkeley boots might be sporting awesome retro appeal, but the performance is all modern. These lightweight, mid-cut boots have HydroSeal waterproofing and a Winter Grip rubber outsole with temperature-sensitive Ice Pick lugs for grip all over the cold-temperature range.

I'll start by saying I'm not a fan of North Face. The quality of their products and what you pay just doesn't add up for me. They do have a market, and it's the people who are concerned about fashion far more then function. These boot don't fit in either of those categories, the picture makes them look like nice casual boots to wear with jeans. I think they're a bit too high. The fit was really narrow and then sole was even more narrow then the upper, so it felt like walking on ice skates. I wear 10 1/2 in most shoes, so I ordered 10 1/2 in these and I needed at least an 11, 11 1/2 if I was going to wear them with think socks. All I wanted was casual boots for Spring, Fall, Winter when you need something between shoes and winter boots. If you buy, order up a size.
